He stared at the robot, his creation, and felt a surge of… something akin to panic. The metallic shell gleamed under the laboratory lights. He'd devoted his life to this, this intricate, self-sufficient machine. Now, his hopes were shattered.

The conference invitation. The other scientist's research. The same sensors. The same programming. The same overall design. It was a chilling revelation. He started to pace the lab, his steps erratic. The room started to feel too small.

He ran a hand through his hair, his fingers finding nothing but strands. He felt a sudden, inexplicable urge to dismantle his creation, to obliterate the problem. He needed space to think.
